Shaky is a petty criminal who sometimes works alongside his friend, Irish. Shaky has a very pronounced stutter, which is the origin of his nickname. He is referred to by Irish as a "hobble-tongued fella" which just about explains everything. Shaky is an arms dealer working out of the warehouse in Thieves' Landing. He works with a gang of bandits that, in one way or another, turn against him. John Marston saves Shaky by slaughtering the men that have had him tied-up and beaten.

He is known to be mocked by Irish. Shaky will sometimes attempt to respond to Irish with a witty retort, but his stutter dampens the effectiveness of the insult. Despite this, Shaky has a noticeably better personality than Irish, as he appears to be more courageous, fighting alongside John Marston. He also seems to be more honest, for he immediately gave John the ammunition for the Gatling Gun as promised.

Shaky is featured in the mission"On Shaky's Ground", in which Marston saves him from being beaten. Irish promises Marston that Shaky will have the ammunition needed for the Gatling Gun. Unfortunately, they find that Shaky has been tied up by his fellow gangsters and they are beating him up in order to find out who he is working with. Marston breaks into the warehouse and eliminates the outlaws holding Shaky before untying him. The two then fight their way out into the storage area where they find the ammunition. Irish arrives and the ammunition is loaded into a wagon, after which Marston and Irish part ways with Shaky.
